Quality Control

Our 3-(o-Propylphenoxy)-1,2-Propanediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality and stability.
